Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton became the first woman to secure a major party’s nomination for president after winning primaries in several states Tuesday night. Wins in New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota and particularly California earned Clinton enough delegates to secure a majority and become the presumptive Democratic nominee. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has so far declined to back out of the race, saying he intends to win next Tuesday’s Democratic primary in the District of Columbia. Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump took the opportunity to address disappointed Sanders supporters unhappy with the way delegates have been awarded in the Democratic race. “To all of those Bernie Sanders supporters who have been left out in the cold by a rigged system of superdelegates, we welcome you with open arms,” Trump said. In an interview with the PBS NewsHour Wednesday, Clinton said her campaign will be working to attract the backing of Sanders supporters leading up to the November election. “I recognize that Senator Sanders really connected with young people in our country,” she said. “A lot of his energy came from their support for him, and we are going to be reaching out.”
